NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer

As we are coming in to Summer (I type this as it is pouring with rain outside!!) I needed to replace my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser as it was running out. I decided to give the new NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer a go. I picked it partly because NARS is fast becoming one of my fav makeup brands but also because it is oil free.

My colour shade is St Moritz (Medium1), it blends into my skin perfectly, better then the Laura Mercier colours do.

In terms of coverage, I would say it is light but can be built to medium. The finish in my opinion is more matt then some may like but does give a radiant effect. The best thing for me about this moisturiser is the longevity of it. I am not a great one to powder after application and with most of my foundations and tinted moisturisers by the end of the day I look oily and a little cakey. After a day at work with the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer my skin shows hardly and oil and barely any cakey patches.

The only negative thing I have to say is about the smell! For some it may be great but for me it has a really strong citrus smell which I really am not a fan of. Despite that it does not stay on the skin so it hasn't put me off enough to stop using it.

If you are comparing it to the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser here are some little facts you may like:

• NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer has SPF 30 compared to SPF 20
• Both are 50ml
• NARS is £27, Laura Mercier is £33 (when purchased from Space NK)
• NARS is Paraben free, Laura Mercier isn't

I didn't think anything could convert me from my Laura Mercier but this one has and is now one of my must haves!!

Choccywoccydoodah Shop London

Last week my mum and I had an unexpected trip to London and thought we would go a visit the new Choccywoccydoodah shop in Fouberts Place (opposite the Mac Pro Shop for beauty fans!). If you have never herd of Choccywoccydoodah they create the most amazing sculptures from chocolate. They really are pieces of art! They started in Brighton and recently opened the new shop in London.

Below are some pictures I took to show how amazing the creations are, plus we did get to sample some of the chocloate and it tastes amazing!



Stay Beautiful & Eat Chocolate!!

Sarah Edwards Cakes

I am so excited to write this post, I have been saving it for months!


Last year my family and I started a little tradition of buying a bespoke birthday cake for each other. This is how we discovered the very talented Sarah Edwards. She makes the most amazing cakes ( I have tried alot of cakes, so I am qualified to make this statement lol!) and her white chocolate filling is to die for!!


Below are a few examples of the gorgeous cakes Sarah has made for us. They really are pieces of art and it has become a highlight of family birthdays to see what she has created.

My mum loves Chanel No 5

This was my bday cake, inside the gingerbread house was my fav sponge cake with white chocolate filling! The little trees around the house were peanut butter cupcakes!

I can honestly say this was the best bday surprise ever!

I love that the hands were movable!

My dad is a chocoholic!

For my grandad who loves reading Shakespeare

My mum collects Wedgewood
